The “Art” is defined as the imaged housed on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and assigned to the NFT by the Content ID (CID) and is a part of the generative profile picture collection known as the Apocalyptic Apes.
The Licensor may modify this Agreement from time to time. It is your duty to ensure compliance with this Agreement.
